Passage of Time

As each page she turned
bared what she was yet to know;
chapters yet unlearned
lit by evening’s candle glow.
Fairies flew, as she did grow.

I'm surprised how good many entries are, but you don't surprise me with your lovely poetic 5 lines, I expect it from you. You wrote VOLUMES of feel into those lines. I leave feeling rather melancholy.
